The most positionally flexible player in Portugal’s squad — at City he has played as a right-winger, a false nine, an inverted full-back, and an attacking 8, and Martínez uses all of those modes. He is the connector who turns a midfield triangle into a four-man attack, drifting off the right to find half-spaces or dropping deep to overload central midfield.

Bernardo’s Nations League final penalty against Spain (2025) put him in the team’s leadership picture in a way that pre-dated this tournament — when Ronaldo is rotated, the armband and the late-game decisions tend to go to him.
